Ketchup+mayo+lots of pepper. Or salt and malt vinegar, but only with good
thick cut (preferably freshly made) fries.

All depends what I eat them with. I very rarely have the pleasure of chips
nowadays but here is how I used to like them:
Chips alone = salt & vinegar + sometimes ketchup too.
Chip butty = ketchup
Fish and chips = salt & vinegar + pickled onion or gherkin
Pie and chips = Brown sauce + salt & vinegar
Steak and chips = salt only
Never had them with mayo since I stopped visiting the continent. I used to
enjoy them there but they never seemed the same at home with mayo.

Ketchup and salt if they're fresh cut and double fried.
Otherwise: cocktail sauce or tartar sauce if it's on the table or with
fried seafood.
Except for ersatz fish and chips like Long John Silver's then it's
malt vinegar too.

I always associate fries with fast food chains and they are about 5 to 6
mm thick. My local serves what he calls chunky chips that might be as
thick as 25 mm.

Sounds good.
I sometimes do something really disgusting with chips - I eat them on a
sandwich with (UK) tinned corned beef and piccalilli.

I would think most people in the US would know that. On one trip to London
we had a driver who explained some of the differences and we knew them for

I associate rotten fries with fast food joints. Good chips most often come
from a truck, the type that sets up on a street or park and sells nothign but
chips, really good chips.

You (and we) call a large paper tissue a napkin too, yes?
No, we know what a napkin is in the UK, I call 'em a napkins too. A
serviette is a cloth napkin for use at a table, IMHO.
And a diaper is a nappy in the UK.
However, we do call the trunk a boot...

Well, in this part of the UK we call diapers nappies.
Does *anywhere* in the UK call a diaper (nappy) a napkin?

a light sprinkle of salt. Sometimes I like them with ketchup, and when I'm

Terranews isn't free. It's a $4 setup fee:
"Due to the overwhelming response to our free account offer and
the costs associated with verifying credit card information we
have begun charging a one time setup fee of $3.95."
Color me cornfused. Why do they need to verify credit card
information if it's a "free" account? Sounds like a Catch-22.
They might as well advertise "Free Porn(*)".
Also - they put annoying tag-lines on all (most?) of your posts,
advertising their "free" Usenet access.

My BIL is also type 2 diabetic. He and my SIL visited us a few years ago.
Shortly before their scheduled arrival and before I went to the grocery
store I asked him about his diet. He informed me (rather abruptly) that he
ate what he'd always eaten and why did I ask. I was trying to be
considerate, but apparently I insulted him.

"Tags"? You're talking like a hillbilly now.
When I move to FL, I called the DMV and asked where the nearest place
was to register my cars and get license plates. After a few minutes of
further discussion, the hillbilly said "Oh, you want the "tag office?".
I had no idea what she was talking about.

Ugh, tell me about it. I got a nasty email from a coworker of mine who
overheard me say "goddamnit" when my plastic spoon broke while trying to
get a bite of half-frozen chicken salad (the fridge at work is way too
cold).
Apparently I took "the Lord's" name in vain. I replied that I was sorry
she was offended by anything she had overheard me say to myself, but
also that I did not have a "Lord" and did not appreciate her
proselytizing. Since when do Christians have a monopoly on the word
"god"?
I totally want to hang up a huge pentagram in my cubicle where she can
see it.

I doubt she'd know who either of them was. If she can have bible
quotations pinned up around her cubicle, I see no reason why I can't put
something significant to *my* spiritual development up.
Though it would be mostly to piss her off; I've dabbled in neo-pagan
stuff, but have since come to the realization that while I think there
are truisms in most religions, *faith* in the existence (as opposed to
*belief*) in a "higher power" is not necessarily one of them. I'd like
to believe that the universe has a purpose, but I can't justify the
atrocities our species has caused to happen and also believe in an
immanent god. I have a lot of respect for people with genuine faith, on
the occasions when it inspires them to do good works. I have to say this
seems to be the minority, however.

I once had a co-worker who had a bad religion problem and complained because I
told him to fuck off whenever tried preaching at me and I came out on top. He
was a lazy SOB who spent all day preaching to everyone instead of working. We
were in a department whose days were numbered and I was trying to get out,
applying for every job opening that came up.
I got to the point where I figured the best way to get transferred was to
raise a stink. I filed a complain against him for religious harassment.
During his last rant at me he really lost it and was yelling and screaming at
me that I was going to go to hell, and I had more than 30 witnesses. My poor
boss didn't quite know what to do. He was stuck between my and my well founded
religious harassment and the preacher's constant racial discrimination
complaints ( his old job as telephone operator was eliminated when they got an
automated telephone system like everyone else was doing back then).
It worked. I had an interview for the latest position I had applied for. The
base salary was $8,000 more than my old job and another $2,000 when I
finished my training and probationary period, and then, thanks to an ongoing
classification grievance the next year we were awarded a retroactive $15,000
raise. By the time the classification grievance went through the old facility
was shut down and everyone else was laid off.
Sometimes those religious fanatics can lead to good things happening :-)

Tomorrow I gotta go with another coworker of mine (who is Christian, but

uncomfortable it made me last year to a different coworker and she was
all "well, it was non-denominational, what's the problem?". What kills
me is that most of these people are really nice and will think we are
huge jerks for "preventing" them from saying their prayer. But it's
totally inappropriate for a workplace event.

Someone once opined that belief is blindly clinging to what one was
taught, while true faith requires openess and acceptance to what one
experiences and learns to be true. He mighta been wrong though.

That was another problem with the preacher man at work. Whenever there was
some sort of function with a meal he would get up and give a long rambling
grace. I ran the social club and we used to go out for lunch on Dec. 24, I
was going around getting names of those planning to attend and a number of
people said they did not want him saying grace, some even saying they would
not go if he was giving the grace. I made arrangements for someone else to
do it and then approached preacher man and explained it very nicely to him.
When we went to the Christmas Eve luncheon the guy I had asked to do the
grace got up and gave a nice short one. Everyone was ready to eat and then
preacher man gets up at the front of the room, gets everyone's attention and
proceeds to say another grace. Everyone was looking at me to do something,
so I went up and said "Excuse me, but I asked you not to do this" and he
said that I had asked him to.
When we got back to the shop he was furious with me. " How dare you
interrupt me when I am preaching." to which I replied "How dare you start
preaching at an event that I have planned". It was downhill from there. Come
to think of it, that was about a month and a half before I laid the formal
complaint of religious harassment, ended up with a much better job, one in a
department that was never privatized, and with a huge raise. The lord works
in mysterious ways.

I would have CC'd it to HR and complained of Religious Harassment.
I travel through downtown every day and get religiously harassed
all the time.
Which ones are the Mexican folks who pass out the 'Watchtower'
magazines? They seem gravitated towards me because they mistake
me for a Mexican. Normally they don't talk to White people -
we're to smart to fall for that shit.

Apparently you can via mail order. Really, really expensive though that
way.ŁIs it called Crosse & Blackwell Branston Tomato Ketchup?
